David Letterman’s Top 10 Surprises Found On Obama’s Birth Certificate

Video
» 20 comments

David Letterman joined in on the birth certificate fun last night, presenting the “Top Ten Surprises On Obama’s Birth Certificate.” Most of the entries were groan-inducing, but at least a couple of his jokes were genuinely funny for all audiences, no matter one’s perspective of the never-ending controversy.

Two of the best “surprises” were Letterman’s suggestions that “under ‘Conspiracy?’ they checked ‘No’” and “Fine print at bottom: ‘Not an actual birth certificate.’” Any other funny “surprises” you can think of that Letterman should have included instead?

    I suggest Mediaite change its name to Birtheriate.

    But, honestly, this birther obsession at Mediaite was stupid last week, and even stupider now that the issue is resolved.

    I’m sure as he makes 31 million a year he’s really worried about how his career is going. He’s a legend, sorry to burst your bubble. Anyone who you possibly could think is funny would agree as well.

    Wonder how much of that he should provide his messiah to level the playing field?

    “His flailing attempt at a continuing career”?
    He’s been a late night talk show host for 30 years, has accumulated 52 Emmy nominations and for over a decade has made $20M a year. I’m not saying that makes the Top Ten List funny, but you’ll have to sharpen your criticisms if you want to come off as more than an immature, pouty child.

    Checking the after-birthers above, Letterman should change that sign at the end of the clip.
    “There is no OFF position on the idiot switch.”

    I’m not a big fan of Letterman, but the guy keeps chugging along – despite his award-whining critics.

  • Barack Must Go

    LOL all the haters have been busy….sitting at the kitchenette in their single wide down in the trailerhood, hunched over their Salvation Army computers, raging at the world that dealt them such a shitty hand. Yep, black guys get to be President, old white guys get to make loads of money making jokes, and haterboy is stuck drinking crappy beer and pretending he is happy Obama released the long form.

    .

    Yep, I’m talking about you BMG.

    for a top 10, not too shabby

  • timcajun

    When the ‘lie” is disproven over and over again…it just might be a lie! Keep the hate alive and make up another crazy story,…… its fun!

    I wouldn’t walk across the stree to piss on Letterman if his head were on fire.

    One must marvel how a half-wit like Letterman knew Barry did not release his birth certificate, which is a contemporaneous record of birth showing birth parents. So many people have been misled into thinking its the original.

    When a child is adopted at birth, an original birth certificate is created showing birth parents.

    An amended birth certificate is created showing the adoptive parents.

    I suspect the latest proffered “birth certificate” from the Great Pretender is the latter, an amended birth certificate showing adoptive parents. Sophisticated forensic document analysis aside, it looks to me like the latest “birth certificate” is folded back at the top to obscure the printed or, more likely, typed word “AMENDED”.

    A key test of the document’s validity is not the document itself, but an analysis of Obama’s DNA. If, as I suspect, an analysis of his DNA shows it’s biologically impossible for him to be the child of a Negro father and a Caucasian mother, the latest proffered “birth certificate” can not be accepted as valid. Either it is somebody else’s birth certificate, or, much more likely, it is Barry’s amended birth certificate reflecting his adoption by Stanley Ann Dunham and Obama the alien black Luo tribesman.

    Congress and the state legislatures should investigate the Obama matter, starting with subpoenae of Obama’s DNA and Hawai’i’s vital records of him. In view of Obama’s clandestine M.O., all officials with jurisdiction or on whom jurisdiction can be conferred by law are duty bound to investigate.

    It is utterly unacceptable for America to be unable to identify the pretender to the Office of President. The failure to ascertain Mr. Obama’s biological identity lends great weight to the proposition that he claims his adoptive parents as his birth parents in order to maintain the hoax that he is half Negro, so that he can make a fraudulent racial appeal for votes and denigrate opponents as racists.
    Every state’s Secretary of State should require verified DNA samples from Obama to determine whether his past and future applications for ballot positions were and will be honest and in good faith, or fraudulent in light of his latest claimed “birth certificate”.

    If genetic analysis disproves the latest proffered “birth certificate”, Barry’s applications for ballot placement should be rejected until he finally produces for all the world to see, at long last, his true, original, birth certificate, a contemporaneous record of birth showing actual birth parents consistent with his DNA. I would bet Obama’s birth mother was Polynesian, from whom he inherits his warm mahogany complexion, and his birth father was Caucasian, not an alien black Luo tribesman who made it with a white chick.

    Of course, there still remains the question whether Barry lost U.S. citizenship in the course of acquiring and exercising Indonesian citizenship as a lad and as an adult. This too must be the subject of official investigations.

    Hey eingriff–How about this, you disgusting piece of trash: You’ll have Obama for YOUR President for the next 5 years. And then, maybe Michelle will run. Don’t like it? Toooo bad. My heart bleeds. If we took your DNA, I doubt you’d be human. Moronic troll, probably directly related to Orly Taitz. Ugh.
